Baggage

Flights to and from Brazil

For flights that depart from, arrive to or connect in Brazil
purchased before May 18, 2017, review the
terms and conditions of baggage allowance.

Pack your bags with peace of mind

Find out how many items of luggage you can take in the hold of the aircraft free of charge and their permitted dimensions and weight.

Standard weight and size of each bag

Linear dimension: 158 cm. (width + height + length) or 62 in.

Weight: 23 kg. (50 lb)

You must pay for additional baggage if your bag exceeds these dimensions or weight restrictions.

If your bag exceeds the dimension restrictions of 300 lineal centimeters or 45 kilos (except flights within Brazil, where the limit is 60 kilos), you will not be able to transport it in the hold, but you may transport it with LATAM Cargo. For flights purchased starting May 18, 2017, the maximum weight allowance on flights within Brazil is 45 kg.

Your baggage will always be labeled with the final destination of your trip. Your baggage will be labeled to the final destination of your trip, as long as the flights are within the same reservation. In spite of the above, in some cases you must remove it at the point of connection to carry out processes such as Customs or change of airport, and return it to the check-in counters.

On LATAM itineraries, the most permissive baggage allowance will apply when the entire itinerary is on the same reservation.

The weight and items permitted in your baggage are for you only and cannot be transferred to other passengers.

Review your baggage allowance if you purchased your flight before May 18, as you can may have a different allowance to that detailed below depending on your trip.
